Ongoing Sources of Information

"...annual information on the rate and number of work-related injuries, illnesses, and fatal injuries, and how these statistics vary by incident, industry, geography, occupation, and other characteristics."

Includes links to Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) data and information. SOII is "a Federal/State program in which employer's reports are collected annually from about 176,000 private industry establishments and processed by State agencies cooperating with the Bureau of Labor Statistics."

Preliminary to OSHA investigations are the Fatality/Incident Summaries, “summaries of fatalities and catastrophes resulting in the hospitalization of three or more workers,” which employers are required to report within eight hours of the incident. OSHA's Establishment Specific Injury and Illness database allows searches for industry and employment size from 1996-2011.
